The Existential Witch

It's Halloween month, I'm done moving out of my old apartment, and I've finally found my laptop charger! ~Happy times~. Now for some catching up!  First of all, BIG thanks to my sister, Najiba, for helping us clean out our old place on Sunday. We could not have finished moving out of the apartment in time without her. Seriously, moving made us miserable. But now we are in our new place. And Ricky's parents are so awesome! They brought me (yes, me! Not us -.-) wine, a wine opener, and veggie pasta. I will refrain from calling it macaroni as I guess they would disagree. For Ricky, they brought garlic bread and he was nice enough to share that with me haha. Please ignore my fingers One thing about me guys is that until about a year ago I suffered from random digestive issues. I won't get TMI now, but suffice to say I suffered. And what's worse, is that was normal for me. I never thought anything was really wrong. But there was. June 2017 was about the ...

The Autumn Challenge In her Fall Bucketlist video, Kalyn Nicholson talks about how we all set out with so many ideas of the things that we want to do in the Fall, but we never actually do them. And for me, that rings true. So I challenged myself and my family to join me in making sure we do as much of the following as we can in the next month: Harry Potter Marathon (fun outfit optional) Read The Books Pumpkin Spice Latte Apple Picking Buy A Pumpkin Bake An Autumnal Dessert Football In The Park Pumpkin Carving Fresh Flowers for the Apartment Autumnal Decor Harvest Meal Rewatch The Haunting Try A Red Wine Some of these I have not done in years- like apple picking. And some I've already started. I've read the first Harry Potter book, and I have some ideas for decor. I might need to buy a football.... or I may just suggest we go HAM with our Nerf guns instead. No matter what, I want to make sure that we appreciate this time while we are in it. This is my f...

If you've read my last post you know that I was kind of starting to freak out over the upcoming move. Then this morning I woke up groggy and spent an hour on Instagram. Here you will see how my best friend Rei asked if we were going to Michael's. So we went to Michael's. It jump-started my day and kept me from getting angsty and depressed from staying in.  Here is something I'm definitely going to be DIYing when I finish moving in. Some fam-spam. Ricky and I got sushi after. And then I started packing. I took a 2.5 hour nap. I was browsing Youtube for inspiration when Ricky suggested finishing the sushi from earlier and catching up on Luke Cage.  The night ended with writing and editing... Starting the day with breakfast, coffee, and music. Ricky and I had an interesting conversation about family, abuse, sacrifice, and commitment. And of course, it is Sunday so I watched Kalyn Nicholson's new video....

Photo by Shopify Partners from Burst We are moving in two weeks. I have bought 20 boxes and some trash bags. That's it. That is all I have done. It's been really busy these last couple of weeks, and it's going to be very busy in the next few as well. So, this post is more of a personal checklist of what I have left to do. Please people, learn from my mistakes. This is my first time moving out of my own place. I have too much stuff to just fill 4 trash bags and put them in my car. What's Left: Supplies : Duct tape, bleach, zipties (for hangers), carpet washer. Tasks : Bag remainder of all clothes. Box up all bedroom items not being used daily. Begin packing kitchen. Finish taking out trash from the purge. Vacuum the Ziploc Air Storage bags. Give back any items being stored by family. Move Services: I have to update SMUD, the internet provider, post office, DMV, my employers, my bank, and Amazon. Clean : Let's see..... This is a long one. Actually, ...

When I first started going to college, I found myself lost. Like many people, I felt like there was so much that I needed to do- but I had no idea what that was. Even now in my '9 to 5', I find myself feeling guilty and anxious. I feel like I could be doing more, I just don't know what. That vague anxiety and feeling of unfulfillment, plus the stress of bills and an unsatisfied family means that I find it hard to take the time to take care of myself. What does this result in? I'm sure many of you have been in my place and you can guess. Sleeping too much, too little, too restlessly. Drinking and eating too much causing me to gain weight. Breaking out. Finding it hard to care for myself. Even basic things like showering are hard to handle in the deepness of depression. These are not great combos for self-esteem, by the way. See, I know that I am prone to depression and anxiety. But I have found ways that work for me to get through those times. And I actively work...
